On a night when Brea-Olinda had one starter sitting out and another slowed by illness, Hudson responded with her best game of the season, getting 32 points and 19 rebounds in the Ladycats’ 75-63 victory over Costa Mesa Friday. “We were only 45% of what we could have been that night,” Brea Coach Mark Trakh said. “That was the night Colleen really had to come through.” Hudson, 6 feet 1, scored 11 points in Brea’s 48-45 victory over Playa del Rey St. Bernard in the championship game Saturday. With 15 seconds remaining, she scored after a rebound to give the Ladycats their final victory margin. Hudson was named co-most valuable player of the tournament with teammate Nicole Erickson.
